News and latest profiles
Shields for RPGs and other stories
This covers all sorts of fighting shields, from small hardwood stuff to wheeled ballistic SWAT contraptions to force shields. THE NEW MATERIAL IS SIGNALLED IN THE TABLE OF CONTENT.
Miranda Zero
The boss in the titular Global Frequency network, which does super-competent global crisis response in a slightly fictionalised world.
Ahoy Batgirls
All the new Batgirl stuff’s published, but the overhaul ain’t finished. Details within.
Batgirl
Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) during her earliest, Silver Age, 1967/68 appearances.
Frenchman
A scary, weird expert in a comic book version of biofeedback. Superhuman violence monster, but he’s on the Frequency so he’s okay.
Spoiler
Stephanie Brown in 2008-2009, between her Robin era and her Batgirl era. Part of a large series, so definitely check Batgirl orientation page first.

Bat-Girl
This is the version of Bat-Girl (Betty Kane) who appeared in 1961, with the girly gadgets.
Killer Moth – a guide to Killer Moths
A mediocre, minor DC Comics villain. But there were more versions of him than you can shake a lamp at.
Shingo Yabuki
An eager, but inexperienced and naïve, student of the Kusanagi style in King of Fighters video games. He’s more skilled nowadays, though.
Little Miss Redhead
An obscure Golden Age teen heroine in the DC Universe. She more or less fights crime with a skipping rope.
Strobe
A so-so enemy of the X-teams during the 1990s. Mutant Liberation Front member.
Dingbats of Danger Street
Minor, semi-obscure Kirby creation. Oddball youths street gang, apparently in Metropolis.

This is Marvel Boy (Bob Grayson) as published by Timely Comics during the early 1950s – the Golden Age version of the character. Includes a full description of his adventures and how to make them explicitly in continuity.
Batgirl
The modernised version of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) that starred in the 2003 Batgirl: Year One Limited Series.
Lt. Mullins and the rooftop police
A strange, small Metropolis police team who double as rooftop acrobats and a SWAT team. From Kirby’s semi-obscure Dingbats of Danger Street.
Jawbreakers
Two animé cosplayers turned dangerous mercenaries, with swords and super-bikes to stay in character. These were seen during the Batgirl of Burnside era.
Claire Redfield
One of the mainstays in Resident Evil survival horror/zombie stories and games. Humanitarian activist and combat expert.
Claire Redfield
Second half of this character profile. The first half is there.
Agents of Atlas
Team profile for the Agents of Atlas, an interesting and modern (paradoxically) super-hero team at Marvel.
Jumping Jack and Gasser
Two obscure Jack Kirby creations for DC Comics. Fought the Dingbats of Danger Street, costumed low-level thieves.
Agent Helen Helligan
A FBI metahuman cases specialist seen in Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers. High-level, rapid deduction heuristics – she’s weirdly sharp.

A minor Batgirl enemy during the Burnside era. Class-15-or-so bruiser.

Reaper
Painfully minor enemy of X-Force and the like. Scythe that also has a paralysing effect.
